A 1973 1/2 (or 1973.5) Porsche 911 Targa refers to a specific, transitional version of the 911T produced during the latter half of the 1973 model year. It is highly regarded by enthusiasts because it combines the iconic, classic long hood body style with a more reliable and smoother running fuel injection system, acting as a bridge between the early F-series and the later impact- bumper G-series. Here is what defines a 1973 1/2 Porsche 911T 1.
